Description
The present invention relates to a kind of keyboard instrument, relate in particular to damper that is suitable for keyboard instrument and the keyboard instrument of being furnished with the damper that suppresses the string vibration.
Damper is a basic element of character of acoustic piano (acoustic piano).Damper links to each other with key.Key causes the to-and-fro movement of damper head assembly.When key stopped, the damper head assembly kept and the string set of contact, prevented the string resonance of string group and vibration.Suppose that the pianist is for producing the tone depressible keys.The key of depressing causes that the damper head assembly moves upward, thereby the damper head assembly separates with related string group.This string group is prepared vibration.A hammer beats this string group, and the vibration of string group produces the piano tone.When the pianist unclamped the key of depressing, key was shifted to rest position, and allowed the damper head assembly to begin to contact with the string of vibration.The vibration beginning combines the piano tone decay with the damper head assembly.Therefore, damper is very relevant with the piano duration of a sound.
Fig. 1 represents a typical case that is contained in the damper in the standard grand piano.In Fig. 1, the right side claims below that than the more close player who is sitting in standard grand piano front in left side the right side is " front ".Relatively, claim that the left side is " back ".
Prior art is represented whole damper with reference number 1.The damper 1 of prior art is related with key 2 and string group 3.Though be provided with 2a of topworks and hammer assembly 3a for key 2, the 2a of this topworks is identical with the setting of beating assembly 3a and other key of standard grand piano, is not described further below.
Give key 2 with a note of temperament, string group 3 produces a piano tone identical with the note of giving key 2.When key 2 is motionless, keep the damper 1 of prior art contact with string group 3, prevention string group 3 is vibrated.When the pianist plays tone, his or she depressible keys 2, the damper 1 of key 2 starting prior aries.The damper 1 of prior art leaves string group 3, allows 3 vibrations of string group and generation piano tone.The key 2 starting 2a of topworks that depress, the push rod of the 2a of topworks (jack) is thrown off from hammer assembly 3a.Disengagement causes that hammer assembly 3a freely rotates, and hammer assembly 3a knocks string group 3.3 vibrations of string group are so that produce tone.Like this, when the damper 1 of prior art leaves string group 3, allow 3 vibrations of string group.Damper 1 with prior art stops the location point of string group 3 vibrations to be called " rest position " below, and the damper 1 of prior art allows the location point of string group 3 vibrations to be called " tone generation position ".
The damper 1 of prior art comprises sound-making bar ring flange 4, system sound piece 5, and system sound line 6, damper head assembly 7 and system sound ring flange 9, this damper head assembly 7 comprises damper head 7A and a pair of system sound felt 8.Sound-making bar 4 can unsteadily be supported by system sound ring flange 9, and stretches out forward from system sound ring flange 9.Sound-making bar 4 is wooden, and is porose in the sound-making bar 4.System sound piece 5 is connected with sound-making bar 2 by pin, protrudes upward from sound-making bar 2.System sound piece 5 can rotate around pin.System sound line 6 is fixed on the system sound piece 5, and protrudes upward from that.Guiding crosspiece 10 is positioned at the top of system sound ring flange 9, has the hole in the guiding crosspiece 10.System sound line 6 passes this hole, reaches the top of guiding crosspiece 10.To such an extent as to hole enough wide permission system sound line 6 motions are successfully therein passed.Damper head assembly 7 is fixed on the upper end of system sound line 6.
As following described, damper head 7A and system sound felt are made as a whole formation damper head assembly 7 to 8.Damper head 7A is wooden, and system sound felt 8 is become by felt.Damper head 7A is hardwood preferably.Isunoki or Onoore are than great, and damper head 7A is made by one of this class hardwood usually.Isunoki or Onoore are Japanese names.Their formal name used at school is " Distylium racemosum (distylium racemosum) " and " the black birch (betula schmidtii regel) of match ".Though Isunoki does not have English name, Onoore translates into English " birch (birch) " or " Onoore birch " usually.System sound felt 8 is fixed on the lower surface of damper head 7A, and is spaced from each other at fore-and-aft direction.
When key 2 is parked in rest position, the rear portion of key 2 separates with sound-making bar 4, and damper head assembly 7 impels system sound line 6 because of conducting oneself with dignity downwards.Making sound line 6 then impels sound-making bar 4 clockwise direction coiling tuning rod ring flanges 9 to rotate.But, keep system sound felt to contact with string group 3, and keep sound-making bar 4 to separate with key 2 rear portions to 8.
When the front portion of pianist's depressible keys 2, avale in key 2 front portions crosspiece forward, and corresponding, upwards lift at key 2 rear portions.Key 2 rear portions begin to contact with sound-making bar 4, and cause that sound-making bar 4 coiling sound ring flanges 9 rotate in the counterclockwise direction.Though make sound piece 5 and make sound line 6, guide crosspiece 10 and do not allow to make sound line 6 and make sound piece 5 so and coiling sound ring flange 9 rotations with 9 rotations of sound-making bar 4 coiling sound ring flanges.Pin between guiding crosspiece 10 and sound-making bar 4 and the system sound piece 5 makes the rotation of system sound line 6 and system sound piece 5 change rectilinear motion into.As a result, therefore system sound piece 5 and system sound line 6 move upward by direction shown in the arrow A 1.System sound line 6 upwards promotes damper head assembly 7, thereby system sound felt separates with string group 38.Therefore, the damper 1 of prior art enters tone and produces the position, and allows 3 vibrations of string group to produce the piano tone.The key of depressing 2 continues to start the 2a of topworks, causes that push rod breaks away from hammer assembly 3a.Disengaging causes that hammer assembly 3a freely rotates, and hammer assembly 3a beats string group 3.Therefore, produce the damper 1 permission string group 3 vibration generation piano tones of the prior art of position at tone.
For the damper 1 of prior art is provided with footstep mechanism 11.Footstep mechanism 11 comprises pedal 12, rising stem 13 and lifting crosspiece 14.Pedal 12 is supported by qin box (not shown) rotationally, and rising stem 13 is connected with the rear portion of pedal 12.Rising stem 13 extends upward, and puts in the piano outer container.Promote crosspiece 14 and support rotationally by sound-making bar ring flange 9, and be positioned at sound-making bar 4 below.Though do not represent in Fig. 1 that the shared pedal gear 11 of the damper of the prior art related with other key (not shown) promotes crosspiece 14 and extends in the side, those sound-making bars that surpass ownership system tuning rod or choose.
When the pianist wished to prolong the piano tone, he or she stepped on the pedal 12.Pedal 12 sinks, thereby rising stem 13 moves up.Rising stem 13 promotes to promote crosspiece 14 and rotates by the sound of coiling counterclockwise ring flange 9.Therefore, promote crosspiece 14 beginnings and contact with the lower surface of sound-making bar 4, sound-making bar 4 rotates by the sound of coiling counterclockwise ring flange 9.This causes damper head assembly 7 to leave string group 3.Like this, the pedal gear 11 string group 3 that can keep damper head assembly 7 to leave being associated and regardless of the position of key.Because this reason, though the pianist decontrols key 2, pedal gear 11 supports the deadweight of damper head assembly 7 and keeps the vibration of string group 3.
As described below, give key 2 with a note of temperament, related string group 3 produces the piano tone of given note.Usually the piano tone is divided into bass area, middle register and treble, and the diameter of the string in each range of sound, length and quantity differ from one another.Each note of bass area distributes one or two string 3, and each note of middle register distributes two or three strings 3 to give, and each note of treble distributes three strings.Give the string score of bass area and give the string of treble thick and long, and wideer than treble string oscillating region.This means that energy of vibration is different according to string 3.Therefore, no matter string 3 sizes, damper head assembly 7 is designed to balance and absorbs vibration.In order to make the vibration absorption ability ability equate that the damper 1 of prior art is designed to vary in weight each other.From the bass area to the treble, the weight of the damper 1 of prior art reduces.But, can not only regulate weight by the size that changes damper head 7A.Metal lead flake 15 embeds in the sound-making bar 4 suitably regulates weight.From the bass area to the treble, the gross weight of metal lead flake reduces.Therefore, except changing damper head 7A, also need to change the vibration absorption ability of sheet metal 15 with suitable adjusting prior art damper 1.
Can run into following problem in the prior art damper 1.At first, damper head 7A weight is dispersed in the product easily.This is because hardwood proportion is regional with arboreal growth and different according to the age of tree.In this case, even producer's strictness is designed for the damper 1 of the prior art of the string group of distributing to different notes, the dispersion in the product also is inevitable.
Another problem is to increase cost of products.Hardwood more and more lacks.Be difficult to stablize and obtain at low cost hardwood.As a result, production cost increases.Another factor is that the throughput rate of sound-making bar 4 is low.The producer determines the size in hole and forms the hole on each sound-making bar 4.Determine sheet metal and inject in the sound-making bar 4.Like this, adjust the weight of sound-making bar 4, transport the reason that a little complex steps become high production cost by series of steps.
Also having another problem is the durable degree of sound-making bar 4.As what describe below,, sheet metal 15 is injected in the sound-making bar 4 with wooden one-tenth sound-making bar 4.Even sheet metal 15 is hidden in the hole of sound-making bar 4, wooden sound-making bar 4 becomes dry, and the hole will be out of shape.The gap appears between sound-making bar 4 and sheet metal 15.The gap is the root of noise, and sheet metal 15 is easy to drop out from sound-making bar 4.
Also having a problem is environmental pollution.Sheet metal 15 is made by lead, and is directly exposed in the environment.Though lead ratio is great and be easy to processing, from the environment aspect, lead is inappropriate.After sound-making bar 4 wearing and tearing, if deal with improperly, lead metal sheet 15 can cause environmental pollution.
Therefore a free-revving engine of the present invention provides a damper, and it can strictly adjust weight, and is economical, durable and free from environmental pollution.
Another free-revving engine of the present invention provides a kind of keyboard instrument of being furnished with this damper.
